APIs are part of the life and future for an enterprise. This introduces new risk that rightfully keeps many security executives up at night, particularly with the number of API breaches occurring over the past year. For the security executive, mitigating the risk of APIs is not just about firewalls but about needing to control data authorization and enforce existing identity polices to identify and validate users/entities levering APIs.
These session presents a simple approach to managing the risk of API data access. We'll walk the security executive along an easily followed path for secure APIs for their organization. We'll also outline steps on how to build a security program for APIs within their organization.
